What You'll Do
Monitor production quality performance and lead root cause analysis for nonconformances, escapes, and yield issues.
Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurring problems.
Support first article inspections (FAI), in-process audits, and final inspection verification for SMT, Through-Hole, and mechanical assemblies.
Collaborate with Process and Manufacturing Engineers to validate new processes, tooling, and equipment from a quality standpoint.
Review MPIs, customer specifications, and inspection criteria to ensure compliance with IPC-A-610 and other applicable standards.
Analyze defect and rework data to identify trends and drive process and quality improvements.
Support DFM reviews, ECOs, and MRB activities to ensure proper documentation and traceability of quality decisions.
Participate in internal and external audits (ISO, customer, regulatory) and maintain quality system compliance.
Provide quality training and guidance to production operators and technicians.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
Experience in electronics or PCBA manufacturing environments (SMT, Through-Hole, Reflow, Wave Solder).
Strong knowledge of IPC-A-610/620, AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality systems, and data-driven problem solving (8D, 5 Whys, Pareto, etc.).
Proficiency with quality tools such as PFMEA, control plans, and statistical analysis (SPC).
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence across teams.
ITAR/EAR Compliance: Due to the nature of the work performed at Rocket EMS, this position may require access to export-controlled technical data or technology.

Quality Engineer Jobs in Nevada: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality engineer in Nevada?
Most Nevada quality engineer roles require a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering, though some employers accept an associate degree paired with substantial shop-floor experience. Nevada does not issue a state license for quality engineers, so employers rely on professional credentials: the Certified Quality Engineer designation from the American Society for Quality is the most recognized. Gaining experience in a Nevada manufacturing or defense environment and passing the CQE exam is the standard path.
Which companies hire quality engineers in Nevada?
Companies currently hiring quality engineers in Nevada include Tesla, Timken, and Panasonic, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Nevada's concentration of defense contractors, gaming equipment manufacturers, and building materials producers means quality engineering roles appear across a broad range of industrial sectors in the state.
Which Nevada cities have the most quality engineer jobs?
Sparks, Las Vegas, and Carson City account for the most quality engineer openings in Nevada. Las Vegas and Henderson lead because of their large defense, hospitality infrastructure, and construction supply base, while Reno's growing advanced manufacturing and logistics sector, anchored by major distribution and technology operations in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, drives demand in the northern part of the state.
Are there remote quality engineer jobs in Nevada?
Yes, but they're rare. Quality engineering is fundamentally hands-on work tied to production lines, supplier audits, and physical inspection, so most roles require on-site presence. About 7% of quality engineer openings tied to Nevada are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to cover supplier quality documentation review, audit reporting, or quality management system administration rather than floor-level inspection duties.
How can I get hired as a quality engineer in Nevada with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a quality inspector or quality technician role at a Nevada manufacturer, which builds the floor-level inspection experience employers require before promoting into engineering titles. Large industrial employers in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and Henderson's manufacturing corridor regularly bring on entry-level inspectors and offer internal advancement. Earning an ASQ Certified Quality Inspector credential before applying strengthens a candidate's profile, and an associate degree in manufacturing technology or quality assurance from Nevada State University or Truckee Meadows Community College can substitute for a four-year degree at many smaller shops.
Where can I find and apply to quality engineer jobs in Nevada?
